Resumen
GALINDO ORREGO, María Isabel. Living with the Sea: Littoral Instability and Territories in Motion in La Barra, Colombian Pacific Coast. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2019, vol.55, n.1, pp.29-57. ISSN 0486-6525. https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.569.
In the beaches of La Barra, on the shores of the Colombian Pacific Ocean, the life is tied to the movement of the sea. The questions that inspire this inquiry are how ways of living are outlined amidst constant change aroused by the thrust of the water and how this instability is assimilated by those who experience it. This article tracks ethnographically the formation of La Barra to the rhythm of the environment's transformations, and explores the local explanations to such alterations. From an anthropological point of view in dialogue with environmental history, this work aims to think human agency in relation to nature's agitations through a telluric weave that links humanity to the transformations of the earth.
